Daily Horoscope for October 18, 2024

Saying what we mean and meaning what we say might not be as easy today. With the sensitive Moon facing off against communicative Mercury at 3:15 am EDT, we could be at war within ourselves, feeling one way and saying something completely different. When the Moon works hand-in-hand with consistent Saturn later on, we'll be able to ground ourselves and come back to reality, aligning our heads and hearts. Thinking about what we say before we say it should save us a multitude of headaches.

Saying what we mean and meaning what we say might not be as easy today. With the sensitive Moon facing off against communicative Mercury at 3:15 am EDT, we could be at war within ourselves, feeling one way and saying something completely different. When the Moon works hand-in-hand with consistent Saturn later on, we’ll be able to ground ourselves and come back to reality, aligning our heads and hearts.

Thinking about what we say before we say it should save us a multitude of headaches. March 21 – April 19 Your comfort might require you to rely on someone else. It can be hard to put your trust in someone else currently.



You may even feel hurt by them, causing you to pull back from the connection. The temptation to melt back into the shadows will be strong, even though something in you likely wants to try and talk it out. Give yourself the time that you need to soothe yourself before making an effort to figure things out.

Don’t let wounds fester. April 20 – May 20 Who are you when you’re around certain people? This might be the main focus for you now, with a need to pay attention to how you shift your self-expression in the company of a certain person or group. It could have escaped your notice until this moment, but when you pay attention, you might discover more authentic ways to show up.

Trying to become someone else to keep a friend is unlikely to feel good in the long run. Just be yourself! May 21 – June 20 You might be tempted to tell someone how you’re really feeling. This could be someone that rightfully deserves your annoyance, but voicing it right this minute is unlikely to work in your favor.

While you probably want to tell them the unbridled truth of how you feel, it’s likely to come out harsher than you meant it to. That risks damaging how others see you! Unless it’s absolutely necessary to speak up, it may be wise to keep things under your hat for now. June 21 – July 22 Standing out in a crowd may be challenging.

The planets are urging you to swim against the current and say or do something that’s unlike the group that you’re in — and you’re probably aware that this would be a risky move. Instead of being reckless or impulsive, try to channel this energy into being creative or setting up a fun surprise for someone in your life. If something seems like a big risk, don’t hesitate to pull back on the throttle.

July 23 – August 22 Your emotions might be hard to hide, particularly if you’ve been trying to be responsible or professional in the face of an emotionally stressful situation. The way you’re feeling is likely all over your face anyway! Be honest if you need a moment away from the hectic energy of your career or another responsibility of yours, and don’t be afraid to ask for help. There might be someone who’s already waiting in the wings for you to reach out to them.

August 23 – September 22 You can get by with a little patience. Brace yourself for delays, reschedules, and miscommunications on your plate, as both travel and communication are affected by Luna and Mercury’s astrological tiff. You might learn information that’s just shy of the truth or be given bad directions or the wrong arrival time — needless to say, check everything twice.

While running this wild goose chase can be frustrating, do your best to enjoy the scenery along the way. You’ll make it there eventually! September 23 – October 22 Obsessing over one area of your life may be causing you to let other matters slip. Analyze your activities — is there someone or something that’s taking up all of your mental space? When you devote so much mental energy to one thing, you risk letting the other important matters in your life fall through the cracks.

Pay attention to where your priorities currently lie, and if they’re imbalanced. Once you bring back equilibrium and consistency, you might just see yourself leveling up. October 23 – November 21 Your heart might be distracted from what you know to be true.

Someone in your life could be criticizing you, not realizing all the obstacles that you’ve had to overcome to get where you are now. They may not have meant to impact you negatively, but their words are potentially playing on your mind and causing you to doubt yourself. Instead of letting it bring you down, remember how you thought of yourself when you were younger and bolder.

You’re stronger than you know! November 22 – December 21 Sticking with updated habits may be harder than normal. No matter how intent you are regarding following through with any positive habits that you recently began, life could be throwing you curveballs from the areas you’re least expecting. It’s also easier to get exhausted while you’re trying to stay consistent.

Overall, this may mean that you need to take something off of your plate so that you can have enough energy and focus to keep up such recent endeavors. Give yourself some grace. December 22 – January 19 Jealousy can sneak in if you’re not paying attention.

There might be someone in your friend group that has something you want, but focusing on that will likely be damaging to your connection if you allow this envy to get the better of you. Alternatively, there may be someone in your group who is jealous of you or another peer of yours, causing drama among you. Pay attention to what you do have, and practice gratitude.

The grass isn’t always greener. January 20 – February 18 Sentimentality could be clashing against your desire to climb the ladder. You may want to reach higher heights in your career or become more respected, but society has left you with the impression that you must sacrifice a hobby or pastime to achieve such ambitions.

This can be a difficult decision to make, so make sure to account for every factor. Make a point of making a pros and cons list before taking action, at least. Maybe you could even balance your goals with fun! February 19 – March 20 You may not currently have the words to express yourself.

Going through new experiences can be great, but sometimes putting your overall take on them is difficult to put into words right away. Let it settle in — regardless of whether it’s a class you’re taking, a job opportunity, a burgeoning friendship, or another new entry into your life. Allow yourself time to understand how you feel about the people or events at hand.

Your soul deserves the space to speak..
